Makeup lovers across the UK have reason to celebrate this festive season, as Superdrug launches a brilliant beauty bargain that takes the sting out of restocking essentials. The high street health and beauty retailer is currently running a standout promotion on Collection Cosmetics, allowing shoppers to receive a free full-sized product with a minimal spend.
The Deal: Spend £7, Get a Free Setting Spray
From now, customers who spend £7 or more on Collection Cosmetics products at Superdrug will receive a free Collection Ultra Hold 3 Second Setting Spray, which has a retail value of £6.99. This offer provides a perfect opportunity to replenish core makeup items like foundation and concealer, which often run out simultaneously, and gain a crucial finishing product at no extra cost.
The deal is available both in-store and online, offering maximum convenience for those preparing for a busy calendar of Christmas parties and social events. As highlighted in a promotional video, one shopper exclaimed, "With it being party season, this was a must."
How to Make the Most of the Offer
Given the affordable price point of Collection's range, it's easy to reach the £7 threshold. For example, you could purchase a foundation and a concealer for just over the required amount and effectively get the setting spray for free. However, it's important to note the promotion's terms: the Superdrug website confirms it is "one free item per transaction."
This means if you spend £14, you will not automatically receive two sprays. To get multiple free items, you would need to complete separate transactions. The offer applies to a wide selection from the brand, including:
- Cheek and lip stains
- Face powders and gripping primers
- Bronzing drops and lip glosses
- Foundations with varying coverages, from skin tints to full-coverage formulas
Shoppers have been quick to praise the deal online, with one commenting, "Oooh, amazing offer," and stating their intention to visit a store soon.
Why a Setting Spray is a Makeup Bag Essential
Receiving a free setting spray is a notable bonus, as it is a staple product for ensuring makeup longevity. A setting spray acts as a protective shield, sealing in makeup to help it endure longer by combating factors like sweat, oil, humidity, and the simple passage of time.
This is particularly vital during the party season, when looks need to last from office festivities to the dancefloor. The Collection Ultra Hold spray promises to set makeup in just three seconds with a super-fine mist, offering an ultra-lightweight feel and a smooth finish.
For those with oily or combination skin, a setting spray can be a game-changer, controlling shine in the T-zone and reducing the need for constant blotting. Beyond just setting, these sprays can also enhance application; some people use them between makeup stages to improve blendability, or spritz them on brushes to amplify pigment payoff.
Additionally, they help minimise makeup transfer onto clothing—a perfect perk for anyone wearing their favourite party outfits.
An Ideal Party Season Solution
This promotion, reported on December 5, 2025, by Senior Social News Reporter Danielle Kate Wroe, arrives at the optimal moment. It solves the common frustration of multiple products running out at once, providing a cost-effective way to secure a full set of essentials: base products and the finishing item that locks everything in place.
With the promise of looking fabulous from the office party to under the mistletoe, Superdrug's Collection Cosmetics deal is a timely and wallet-friendly beauty boost for shoppers nationwide.
